About Me
/trailhead-cleantech/images/image-o8042.png)
Ahsan is a carbon and energy decarbonization specialist with more than 8 years of experience across a broad range of climate-related issues including renewable energy (hydrogen, waste-to-energy, biofuels, biogas, CCUS), carbon offsets, emissions reporting including life cycle analysis (LCA), ESG disclosure, climate finance, and corporate net zero strategies.
Ahsan spent the first half of his career advising clients across the public and private sectors on their emissions strategies as a consulting at Radicle-BMO, ERM, SYSTEMIQ and BCG, and the later half developing large-scale decarbonization projects with Protium, StormFisher, Hydra and Valent. He was most recently with ATCO’s Clean Energies Team as a Senior Strategy Advisor, where he led a number of techno-economic studies on the export markets for renewable ammonia, hydrogen's role as a transport fuel, and pathways to reduce the carbon intensity of large-scale hydrogen production.
Prior to that, Ahsan provided fractional commercial and strategy support to various clean technology startups and renewable fuel project developers between Canada, US, UK and Sweden, helping with financial modelling, grant writing, business development, and carbon monetization. Leveraging his technical and commercial acumen, and knowledge of environmental regulations, Ahsan brings a holistic perspective to climate projects.
